No. 9, New Bridge-street, London Homov KED SIB, 1 - BEG leave to inform you, that ever s in ce th e IL : year 1701, I had been afflicted with the Imes . Venerea; which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the'faculty here, and un dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis- ChargtO from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to be of the Most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period atv my existence—l had'a large ulcer on the crown of my head, one on each arm, and my legs ,were broke ont in a frightful manner; my right was dicadfully painful, and had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; nay left had also two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave me such excruciating pain, particularly when warm i n 'bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I was recommended by Itlr. J. TlionipsoA, (who received s.; great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to 'loon the 26th of May ; in the comso of a fortnight 1 began to receive heneit -in little more than a mouth the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed— soon after, the sores on my legs healed als m ; leaving, how ever, considerable discolouration in ale skin, and pain in the bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, anal a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, su!osided ; the nodes dispersing, the shin regal aim.: its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going otl.—l thus heca.me, by your liberal advice and medicine, perfeetly free from all may former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a lid strength, and am become Jolly and fat, in which state having continued many months, to the.astonishinent of all who knew me, lamat a loss-in what teiens express may gratit ride, but beg; fOr the, good of other suffering- mortals; to make this ray case as public as possible, as i shall on every occa sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige, , Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant, ALEX.

There has hardly appested during the whole of the present reign a character who hds been more useful to his country, within his Sphere.of action, than this Gentleman. The assaults of Pdrty which followed him from altuost'his first appear ance in political life., may he considered as one good testimony in fayour of his talents and his services. We shall always feel gratified in paying respect to his memory, and therefore we have taken the subjoined article from The New Monthly Magazine : h is to be hoped, that an extended Memoir of the late Mr Rose - will be given to the world by some of those who were most intimately acquainted with his remarkable history and excellent character. The account in a former Number is pretty accurate for such a sketch, but some particulars should be added of a mats against whose good name the malignant spirit of party still continues to spit its venom, even when thettomh has closed upon his mortal remains. - It is not quite correct, however, to say of Mr. RoSe, that he " afforded a striking instance of what may be accomplished by industry and integrity, by which he raised hithself from obscurity, to opulence and the highest offices of the State," I know that political malevolence has often sported upon the supposed lowness of this Statesnian's origin, and without much regard to truth or consistency, has described him as sprung from the dregs of the people. This, from a set of levelling reformers, and the despisers of hereditary honours, is too had, even were the fact as they represent it—but the case is far other wise, for, though Mr. ItUse could not boast of great ances tors, he was certainly descended from a very respectable stock. His father was a clergynian, of an ancient family in the county of Nairn, whogc brother, Dr. Rose, the first Editor of the ll loneltly Review, conducted for many years a seminary of no small celebrity at Chiswick. Mr. George Rose was brought up under his uncle from the age of five to eighteen, during wind' space be made a pod progress in general learn ing, and particularly mathematics, to which last accomplish ment;he was ultimately much indebted for his success in life: His first situation was that of Captain's Clerk in a ship .of war on the Jartiai , a station, at the close of the war in 1763. In this capacity he conducted himself so well as to be made a Purser in the Navy, from which employment he was taken by Lord Sandwich,• when that nobleman was at the head of thz Admiralty, and introduced by him to Lord North, who gave him a post in the Treasury. His talents soon made them selves 'so conspicuous, that he was deemed a fit person to su perintend the impression of the- Journals of the House of Lords, printed in 1777. Front this time his preferments came on rapidly ; hut it was Mr. Pitt who had the merit of appreciating the full value of Mr. Rose, as a man every way qualified for plablic business. Into the history of his parlia mentary lite, it would be needless and tedious to enter; but of his integrity and liberality it may be proper to say some thing, because no Man so situated ever suffered more un justly front the tongues of evil-speakers, and the pens of li centious scribblers. It was the glorious fortune of Mr. Pat's Administration, that he sought out men adapted for the se veral offices of the State ; and in Mr. Ruse he happily found a mind congenial with his own—one who was not disposed to eat the bread of the nation, without taking the pains - to earn it. There are idle talkers in abundance, who declaim with wonderful fluency upon public extravagance, and the enor mous incomes of men in power. But the business of great States cannot be conducted without labour; and they who are ill paid for their services, Will not he naming in plausible excuses for negligence or peculation. The truth however is, that they who bear the heaviest burdens, and drudge the most in public employments, are far from receiving more than is adequate to their sacrifices and responsibility. Mr. Rose :for near forty , years discharged the duties of several im portant offices, but in none of them was be an idle servant; and it may be truly adirmed, that the nation derived more benefit front Isis industry than he did from the salaries wkich he enjoyed. To his skill and diligence all parties have borne ample testimony; and though continually an. object for the shafts of his political adversaries,. none of them, with all then- zeal and p e r s pi cac it y , could fasten upon him even the suspicion of delinquency. This was no ordinary praise for one who had to pass the scrutinizing ordeal of an Opposition eager to magnify the slightest defigiencies into enormous of fences. The liberality of Mr. Rose was not an occasional flight of generosity, thrown out to gain admiration, hot a steady principle, main; courteottsly towards all with whom he had any nosiness to transact, and never turtling aside from the numerous applicants that sought his- favour. Though the inferior officers in the several departments over which he pre sided were taught diligence by his example, they felt cunfi deuce in his kindness. He was no rigorous task-master, seeking to gain teputation by the hard labour of his de pendants; nor did he treat with haughtiness and reserve those who were at his absolute disposal. In private life, his deportment was uniformly marked by placidity, unaffected generosity, and settled friendship. His charities were ex tensive, but far from being ostentatious; and the great ob ject which lie had in view, when exercising any act of bene volence, was to render it permanently useful. As one proof of his attentian to the public good, rather than his private emolument, the following- circumstance arty be mentioned When the vicarage of Christ (Await, of which he was pan on, heeame vacant some years ago, Mr. Rose, regaraless of the applications which were made to him by sonic of his friends in behalf of their relatives or acquaintance, wrote to . the Bishop of Lincoln, desiring him te.recommend seine clergy man of mai: income hut approved principles and conduct, eminently qualified for such a charge. His Lordship, with the same laudable view, passed over those who sought his interest, And, without solicitation, introduced the present worthy incumbeut of that parish to Mr. Rose, who imme diately gave hint the appointment. hi short, it may he said of Mr. Rose, as of the great Sr Stephen Fox, to whose chat acter and history his Own bore a striking - resemblance, that •. the more and greater places he went through, the more and greater proofs he still gave of a capacity above them ; and of a tonal above all corruption so that he was allowed to get a great estate in places at 'Court, withont even having his integritv once called in questiort ; ) a rare felicity "n our great men, and scarce ever to he expected in a kingdom divided as this is, wherein great part, if not half the nation, sets itself to believe, and to spealeill of the other." Fyre'sa Funeral Symms fur Sir Stepben Fox, bro. 1716. W, The life of Mr. Hutton affords a remarkable instance of an individual surmounting, by the vigorous exertion of his own faculties, the united evils of poverty and ignorance. Endowed with great natural acuteness, by industry and fru gality he became a thriving tradesman, and raised himself to affluence ; and though at an early age he. had an aversion to letters, • yet cultivating his understanding, as he advanced in life, by reading and refleetion, he acquired such a fund of general knowledge as falls to the lot of few who enter on their career under much more favourable circumstances. His published works prove this fact : they also exhibit souse curious researches, and an extensive acquaintance with the history and topography of his native country; and they abound with traits of good sense, and with pertinent and useful remarks. He possessed much originality of humour, and had the talent of enlivening a barren topic with charac teristic reflections and allusions, which can hardly fail to give entertainment, although the reader may not be particularly interested with the subject on which they are engrafted. It occurred to the Compiler of this little v o lume that a con cise selection of such reflections and remarks as would hear removal from the context, might be kuceptible to the public ; and he indulges the hope that while it affords amusement, it may also occasionally impart a valuable maxim or a useful hint. Gentle Reader, every publication should answer some end. have no right to trespass on your time, without paying you, in pleasure, or in profit. If I du neither, I shall be thrown aside, like some of my predecessors, ministers of the quill, and buried in the dust. Some authors exult, if they are clothed in gilt binding, and exhibited to view; but it is doubtful whether there is not more honour iu being fre quently thumbed. Enjoy, my dear brethren, your finery; I, who prefer dirt within to gold without, shall he satisfied with soiling fingers, and with dog's-cons. A book, like a heaati- ful apple, may tempt. the eye, but the taste may prove in sipid; if a flavour is not found under the rind, the fruit may he cast away.rhere are some bewitching authors, who pos sess the power of making the reader forget his time, his food, his sleep, and even himself. The waiter, and the reader, like two pieces of money from the same ,tamp, are equally impressed; as two eyes in one head, they behold every object in the same light, with the same effcct, and both feel what they see. Fascinated with the voice of the charmer, the reaUtr is unable to depart the smile, or the frown ; whether I amuse you, or only my self, or neither: yet when I am upon the Bench, may my eye be upon Equity; and when off,•upon Truth !--This is t he merit I wish. - W. H. ANCESTRY. The families of the ancient heroes of Saxon and Norman race are, ch►efy by the mutations of time and of state, either become extinct, or reduced to the lowest verge of fortune. Those few, tht!refore, whose descent is traceable, may be carried higher than that of the present nobility; for I know none of these last who 'claim peerage earlier than the reign of Edward the First, about the year 1295. Hence it follows, that for antiquity, alliance; and blood, the advantage is evi dently in favour of the lowest class.
